The deadline for the 2021 IEEE Vancouver Section Scholarships have been extended until April 30, 2021. Details of the three available scholarships remain the same, with two $1000 scholarships and one $2000 scholarship being offered this year. Applications will be reviewed by the IEEE Vancouver Section Scholarships Committee who will determine this year’s recipients. Initially, the plan was to announce the scholarship recipients at the 2021 IEEE Vancouver Section AGM, however IEEE Vancouver will be contacting recipients via email instead, by May 21, 2021. Detailed information on each of these scholarships and the application process are covered in the attached document. Scholarship information can also be found on the Vancouver Section website: https://vancouver.ieee.ca/about-ieee/scholarships/
